Description

These Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Mugs are a fun and adorable no-bake treat that captures the cozy essence of hot chocolate in a bite-sized, edible form. Featuring jumbo marshmallows dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate and topped with mini marshmallows, finished with pretzel handles attached with marshmallow cream, they make a whimsical and delicious snack perfect for cold days or festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Marshmallows

  • 6 jumbo marshmallows
  • 12 to 16 mini marshmallows

Chocolate

  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Handles

  • 3 to 5 pretzels (broken or cut into “C” shapes)
  • Marshmallow cream (for “glue”)

Optional

  • Sea salt (for a sweet-salty twist)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and velvety. Be careful to avoid overheating to prevent scorching the chocolate.
  2. Dip Jumbo Marshmallows: Take each jumbo marshmallow and dip the top into the melted chocolate, coating it well. This represents the “hot cocoa” part of the mini mugs.
  3. Add Mini Marshmallows: Press 2 or 3 mini marshmallows onto the melted chocolate on top of each jumbo marshmallow, mimicking floating marshmallows in hot cocoa.
  4. Create Handles: Break or cut pretzels into “C”-shaped pieces to form handles. Dip the ends of each pretzel piece into marshmallow cream and attach them to the side of each jumbo marshmallow, forming a handle for your mini mugs.
  5. Optional Finishing Touch: Sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets to add a gourmet sweet-and-salty flavor contrast.

Notes

  • Ensure chocolate is melted gently to keep it smooth and prevent burning.
  • Pretzel handles can be any size or shape, irregularity adds charm.
  • Use marshmallow cream as an effective edible adhesive for pretzel handles.
  • The sea salt is optional but enhances the flavor dramatically.
  • These treats set quickly and require no baking, perfect for quick and easy snacks.
